There's a Visual Revolution in User Journey Analysis

Customerland

The disconnect between the digital experiences businesses think they're delivering and what customers actually receive represents a massive opportunity. In this enlightening conversation, Dave Anderson, VP of Product Marketing at ContentSquare, explores how traditional analytics fail us – with teams trapped in Google Analytics trying to make sense of tables and charts that don't tell the full story of customer journeys.
There's a profound shift happening from marketing-focused metrics to product analytics that truly reveal user behavior. Rather than drowning in spreadsheets, forward-thinking companies are embracing visual analytics that overlay directly onto websites and apps, making insights immediately actionable for everyone from UX designers to CEOs.
The results speak for themselves: North Face increased CTA exposure by 50%, Rakuten boosted checkout conversion by 10%, and one UK bank discovered removing their mortgage calculator actually improved sign-ups by 10-15% (worth £500,000). These aren't marginal improvements – they're transformation stories driven by finally seeing what customers actually do rather than what we think they do.
What makes this approach revolutionary is its accessibility. As one executive notes, "The real test of a new feature is can product marketing use it without any instruction and get value from it?" When analytics become visual and intuitive, teams align around clear priorities without needing data science degrees.
With AI now entering the equation, we're moving toward proactive insights – not just visualizing problems but receiving specific recommendations: "Lift these elements up the page" or "You have more opportunity with this product line." The future belongs to companies who can truly see their digital experience through their customers' eyes.
